Well, That's Over
IrHE Republicans not the Democra ay ,
now. sigh with relief that Senator. 1Mc-
Carthy 'has 'finally' _delivered hi i ', riatiori ,
wide radio-TV .speech. While it was ',apparent
that Joe would *in few new votes for General
? Eisenhower, it was not considered unlikely that '
, he_Would lose Many. Although the senator's '
,speech was in his usual slippery mode of guilt
,by asseciation, it was, hardly wore than ex- '

, ...it was still' a blessing that Joe didn't ,unwind
one of his' most reckless pitches. Tliat could
have been the ball vine for Adlai. Stevenson,
. righethen and there. As it is, we don't know

-Joe pulled his usilal tricks of quoting Pe4le
out of Context, of drawing vague but unpleas-
ant inferences by linking, up unrelated inci-
dents, and by -the distortion of simple state-
1 merits: The Ilatter is )illustrated by McCarthy's
comMents about Mr. Stevenson' S deposition on
.AlgtHiss' reputation. Joe worked that around
to Imeari that Mr. Stevenson - didn't know the
difference 'between being "loyal or dislciyal."
"There is no difference,", he said, ,or
be-
ing, a little bit disloyal or being partly a traitbr."

And the goofballi. who plunked down 50 bucks
